It's been so quiet here lately.
Denise: sorry we weren't able to get together last weekend. It turned out to be a good thing that we hadn't planned anything because we did not get out of the meet until 10pm both Friday and Saturday. I never heard of finals lasting longer than prelims but they integrated diving along with the swimming and had an award ceremony following each event. Friday night was the prearranged family dinner and we didn't enter the restaurant until close to 10:30 which was actually the time they closed! The staff was very accommodating but you could tell they were p.o.'d. We were still eating dessert at midnight! Saturday we managed to get into Middleton Tavern, but were definitely the last diners of the evening. The food was excellent, but at 10:30 the band arrived and the restaurant switched to a "smoking" facility! Annapolis was beautiful and the weather was great, but unfortunately we spent most of our time in the spectactor area of USNA. One of these days we'll have to return and see it at leisure. When that happens, we'll owe you a dinner!
Has anyone actually booked Ron Jon's yet? That's going to be my project for next week.
Leaving for WDW on Saturday for a "Mommy and us" trip with my girls. (or, as Jenni calls it: "Girls Get Wasted '04", which I find comical because at her age, she can't get "wasted" without a little assistance from us!) If anybody would like me to heck out anything, let me know.

Jeanne,
Have a wonderful time in WDW. We're thinking about the Ron Jon, since it's just the 4 of us we could get a plain old studio room.
Haven't contacted them yet. We just need it for the night before the cruise...kids are interested in the pool and mini golf they supposedly have. They loved the pool at the Radisson with the water fall.
Update: Corey's the same...except that he's developed tremors from the medication, he looks like an old man with Parkinson's
Can't even hold a cup to drink because he shakes so much. They're trying to ween him off the Depakote to see if that helps...as long as the aggression doesn't increase ....the school and the hospital are still looking for a residential facility for him to go to.
I had a scare with an abnormal EKG at my family doctor, (stress...what stress!) he sent me to a Cardiologist, had Nuclear Stress Test and Echocardiagram, found out last night that everything is okay, just have an enlarged left atrial chamber, "nothing to worry about" according to the doctors....having a "sleep study" done tomorrow, for possible sleep apnea (goody-goody), and they put me on an ACE inhibitor and 81mg Aspirin daily. I've lost 8 pounds so far....a lot more to go, but taking it 10 pounds at a time as to not get depressed. My sister's lost 60 pounds on Weight Watchers and looks great. Gotta loose the weight so I can really enjoy the special treats on the cruise, but MUST be careful. I know they have "lite fare" on the menus.
Just curious...have you seen the movie "The Passion of The Christ" yet.. Jay and I saw it last night... WOW.

I'm so jelous of Jeanneg right now. But it was a good thing we didn't meet up on our side as well since we didn't get home from Hope's first indoor guard meet until late and by then I was really sick.
Andy & I did go to Philly on tues to the savedisney.com rally. I am now the proud owner of a Roy Disney autograph and I am so hoping the picture turns out. I even saw myself on TV the next night in the news hour with Jim Lehr. It was quite the event. You could tell the "story telling gene" had been passed to Roy in his answers to the questions. Both Mr. Disney and Mr. Gold impressed me as bright ,articulate, passionate people. There was even a reception afterwards with wine and hors dorves, and ample opportunity to speak to the Disney family and Mr. Gold.
We did book Ron Jon's I went for the one bedroom for two days since I'm still not sure who is going. With the drive I figure an extra day to chill before the cruise is a good thing.
Shelly, we continue to pray for Corey here. I can't begin to imagine the stess you are under.
Eight pounds lost is great. Just go to your frig and take out a pound of butter and look at it. Now think, eight of those are gone form your body!!!!!! If you need some support for the weight loss, try the WISH board. They have helped me.

Shelley: So sorry to hear the news about Corey and the tremors. It seems every time you make a little progress, there's always another setback. At least it sounds like he's in good hands. As always, my prayers are with you.
On a happier note, that's great about losing eight pounds! The older I get, the harder it is for me to lose weight and I'm so depressed right now because I should be all packed for my trip tomorrow and none of my summer stuff fits me. The only thing that ever works for me is a very strict Atkins diet, but I hate doing that because it's just eating gobs and gobs of sheer fat. I work out 5 days a week, but can't seem to get the scale too budge.
I plan to check out the Ron Jon thing next week. We would like to leave early Thursday morning and arrive Thursday mid-afternoon, which gives us 2 nights there. We'll probably go to that shrimp place in Titusville on Thursday, but maybe we could do something together on Friday since we'll all be there by then. Sandy and Wendy, where will you guys be staying?
Denise: sounds like you had a great time in Philly. I wasn't able to be there in person, but Roy's group did get my support. Be sure to post the photo when you get it back! Sorry you weren't feeling well last weekend.....I'm missing Maryland crab already!

Hi everyone!
Shelley- Sorry to hear about things. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Great news on the weight loss. I am working out at Curves and trying to lose some weight. I have just been diagnosed with diabetes a few weeks ago and am hoping that taking off a little bit of weight will help me. Trying to figure out how to eat desserts on the cruise!!!!
Nicholas has grown just about an inch. That came in just three weeks and then he slowed down. It has thinned him out noticably. Energy perked up there for a while too but seemed to have gone back to what it was.
Hi Wendy!!!!

Hi Wendy!!!!
Hi all
Sorry not been here much, things have been rather hectic. My boss finally resigned and the interviews were a couple of weeks ago. Gave a good interview, impressed the new Principal but still didn't get it - they didn't think I could handle the awkward member in our dept. Pity they didn't think to ask in the interview how I would handle him! I know the person who got it - not impressed by him (isn't it a shock that it is a male!) as he won't change anything. So am looking for another post. But enough moaning.
Shelley and Jay - our thoughts and prayers are with you. Amy - great to hear from you.
Denise - we stay at the Carousel in Anaheim which is just across the road and nearer than the Paradise Pier and Disneyland Hotel and about 1/4 of the price!
I signed onto the savdisney website and have the bumper sticker proudly displayed.
We're staying at the Oceanside Inn the night before the cruise - did think about Ron Jon's but we can get this for free and mum wants to go boogie boarding in the sea - yes she hasn't grown up any!
Three weeks till our Easter break - yeah!
Love to all
Wendy and Doreen.

Wendy, what position were you interviewing for? Sorry that you didn't get it. They don't know the mistake they made.
Do you guys we're about at the point we were last year when the thread started up? We're under 150 days and spring is around the corner. Woo hoo!!

Wendy: so sorry about not getting the position you wanted.....I agree with Sandy that they're definitely making a big mistake.
Yikes! Less than 150 days to go? That means I've got to start some serious dieting......I don't think a single item from last year's cruise still fits and all the Dole whips I had over the weekend certainly didn't help any!
Mission Space was interesting but not something I'd be anxious to do again. I found all the preshow flight training to be tedious and although I didn't get sick, I felt kinda queasey upon exiting. The parks were extremely empty so we pretty much walked on to everything. The funny thing was that once the stand-by line for TOT was actually shorter than the one for fastpass! This was the first time we ever did WWTBAM at MGM and I was happy to have made the top 10 list. Unfortunately, I pressed the control panel so hard and so fast that my thumb is still sore today! (and we did it on Saturday)

The post was the job I have basically been doing for years without getting paid for it - the Head of Department. It's actually been really nice the number of people who cannot believe I didn't get it. The pupils are now getting wind of it and have been really good boosting my self esteem no end. We spent yesterday afternoon modelling genes with modelling clay and candies yesterday - reminds me why I went into teaching!
So looking frward to meeting up with everyone again. My great niece was looking at some of our photos and she calls it Nan and Auntie Wendy's boat - and as she is only 3 I am not going to tell her it is a ship!
I too have had problems with PM's and email notification - I even went to my user CP to check it and I think I have done everything correct.
Have a good weekend all.

Mum and I are always in a Category 11 on Deck 7. We don't have a split bath but then we figure we aren't going to spend much time in the room anyway! I don't think there would be that much difference in size between the category 11 and 8 but of course it is only the two of us.

Shelley:
Why don't you try to get a category 11 that is situated on 7 aft. That way you can use that nice spacious hidden veranda that is located there. If the 7th deck isn't available, try 6 or 5 aft. This way you could have your coffee, read a book, have a glass of wine, etc. on the veranda and still be fairly close to your room.

Got your PM today Jeannie. Notifications, nah, I've just learned to check each I time I get on.
Wendy, sorry you didn't get the job. Andy goes in for his "I really want my own school" interview next week.
Shelly, we did a cat 11 on our first trip. The only problem was it was under the night club. The upper decks should be fine. We are also thinking about moving down a catagory to a 9. I really don't mind deck 2 and the extra money will come in handy.
